In an industry where the term contractor can have a very negative connotation and<br />
builders come and go with every new construction boom, Bercum Builders have<br />
chosen a different route.<br />
Bercum Builders have been dedicated to serving the Okanagan Valley since 1983.<br />
From then until now, Bercum has remained a family company, committed to its<br />
community, its clients, and its trades. The relationships we have built over many years<br />
have allowed us to maintain a distinguished quality and continuity, and keeps clients<br />
coming back.<br />
As luxury custom home specialists, we are part of a small group of North Okanagan<br />
contractors who have the history of working within the stringent environmental<br />
requirements of lake front properties as well as the harsh diversity of the weather<br />
conditions at Silver Star Mountain Resort. With the complexity of today’s custom<br />
homes, Bercum Builders prides itself on the relationships it has developed in working<br />
with a complete team of designers, engineers, trades, and, most importantly, home<br />
owners who demand the highest level of customer service, professionalism, and<br />
craftsmanship.<br />
We specialize in working with out of town clients – a specialization that requires the<br />
highest level of honesty, integrity, communication and direct access to the contractor.<br />
I take pride in running every project personally, allowing clients the comfort of knowing<br />
there is only one person to contact, one person who will answer all the questions<br />
and maintain the relationships and quality of each project. The heart of every good<br />
contractor is the quality and commitment of the trades it relies on. Bercum Builders<br />
has been blessed with working along side some of the very best in the business.<br />
I can truly say that I am ‘Living the Dream’, since acquiring Bercum Builders from Bill<br />
and Michelle Crum. Bill continues to serve Bercum as a mentor and friend. Bill and I<br />
share the values that he built this company on, the passion for construction customer<br />
service. I have pledged to continue his legacy of developing relationships and the<br />
highest standard of craftsmanship.<br />

Bercum Builders: history, craftsmanship and the relationships<br />
that bring it all together<br />
The secret to our success is simple,<br />
but not easily achieved:<br />
Painstaking quality, honesty, integrity<br />
and long-term relationships between<br />
clients, builder, trades, suppliers<br />
and designers.<br />
Bercum Builders has been the<br />
North Okanagan’s premier custom<br />
home builder for more than thirty<br />
Over 50 brands<br />
massive live shOwrOOm<br />
years. Building three or four boutique-quality<br />
homes per year allows<br />
us to spend the time and attention<br />
required to achieve the results our<br />
clients demand.<br />
Satisfied clients become our best<br />
advertising<br />
Having our customers return for<br />
renovations, second homes, even<br />
third homes, along with the numerous<br />
referrals we’ve earned over the<br />
years, has allowed Bercum the privilege<br />
of building more than one-hundred<br />
custom homes over the years.<br />
Particularly when we work with<br />
out-of town clients, it is critical to<br />
keep communications open, fast,<br />
responsive and genuine. Bercum<br />
Builders, led by Bill Crum and now<br />
Darren Witt, has excelled in working<br />
with clients from all over the world,<br />
from as near as Calgary, to as distant<br />
as Hong Kong and Australia. We’ve<br />
built our reputation on a unique<br />
ability to achieve exceptional results<br />
for families who want to come to<br />
their Okanagan home to relax and<br />
not worry.<br />
At award-winning Bercum Builders,<br />
we are proud of our family business,<br />
and take tremendous pride in<br />
our craftsmanship, our heritage and<br />
our relationships with the people we<br />
build for and work with.<br />
Ask our clients if they would work<br />
with us again, ask our sub trades,<br />
our suppliers, our designers – we are<br />
just as proud of the relationships we<br />
build and maintain as we are of our<br />
homes – and we would be proud to<br />
build for you. q<br />

Choosing a contractor<br />
Choosing the builder for your<br />
home or renovation is more<br />
than just a financial decision – your<br />
contractor will almost become part<br />
of your family for the course of your<br />
project. Are they someone who you<br />
can work with, someone you want<br />
to talk to nearly every day?<br />
Here are a few suggestions for<br />
choosing a contractor you can work<br />
with, and who can complete a home<br />
you will be proud of:<br />
The most trustworthy advertising<br />
is word of mouth. Were you referred<br />
Custom Cabinetry • Furniture • Millwork<br />
Proud Supplier to Bercum Builders<br />
to the contractor by a trusted<br />
friend, or did you find them in the<br />
newspaper, phonebook or online?<br />
It’s a cliché, but it’s often true: the<br />
best and busiest contractors do not<br />
need to advertise – their past clients<br />
are their best ads.<br />
Meet the contractor at their office.<br />
Are they proud of their space, busy,<br />
but organized?<br />
Visit one of the builder’s homes<br />
under construction. Is it clean<br />
and organized? Does it feel good,<br />
does it feel exciting to be part of<br />
a tremendous build? Watch your<br />
potential builder communicate with<br />
the suppliers and the trades-people<br />
on the job, and judge for yourself<br />
how their relationships look.<br />
Ask to visit homes the contractor<br />
has completed. Are clients proud of<br />
the work done, and pleased to show<br />
it off?<br />
Ask for references, and call them<br />
all. Even ask for references from<br />
those references: Who referred<br />
them to their builder?<br />
Who are their suppliers? Call those<br />
suppliers and inquire about the<br />
builder’s reputation for demanding<br />
quality, and for paying their bills on<br />
time.<br />
Ask your potential contractor how<br />
they price their jobs, does it sound<br />
straight-forward and honest?<br />
If you follow these steps, we are<br />
sure that Bercum Builders will be<br />
your choice. q<br />

How is a Bercum home different?<br />
Years ago, Bercum Builders made<br />
the decision to take on only<br />
a few homes per year, each one<br />
entirely custom-designed, planned,<br />
and built, alongside a team of<br />
dedicated trades. As a client, you can<br />
be confident that the craftsmanship<br />
The trade professionals choice<br />
for all your kitchen & bath needs.<br />
Proud supplier of award winning<br />
Bercum Builders!<br />
you expect, will be delivered by<br />
Bercum.<br />
We know that each home must<br />
meet the needs of its owner, and<br />
we pride ourselves on not only<br />
meeting, but exceeding the hopes<br />
of our clients. You can see it every<br />
time you walk into a house Bercum<br />
has built, there is a feeling of quality<br />
throughout. And, you will know<br />
that every detail has been planned<br />
and chosen in precisely the way you<br />
want it to be.<br />
Our clients are creative and<br />
hardworking people, just like the<br />
team at Bercum. We excel at taking<br />
your dreams, hopes and visions<br />
for your home and turning your<br />
creativity into a realized dream.<br />
Building custom homes is always<br />
complicated, never easy and seldom<br />
repetitive. It requires knowledge,<br />
skill, strength and love for your work<br />
to produce the best possible result,<br />
and the character to make sure it<br />
all comes together on every build.<br />
At Bercum, we take enormous pride<br />
in the fact that we have all of those<br />
areas covered, and it is obvious<br />
to anyone looking at our homes<br />
that they are something special,<br />
something unique.<br />
We build a different home every<br />
time. Nothing is repeated, nothing is<br />
done “because that’s how we always<br />
do it,” and nothing is too challenging.<br />
Nothing is more satisfying than<br />
crafting a unique home that perfectly<br />
matches the needs of our clients. By<br />
building only a few homes a year,<br />
Bercum ensures that every home<br />
is built exactly as planned, with no<br />
compromises. q<br />
